You'd better not talk much with anyone else, it might bother you'. This is because of my lunch with Fischer and Benko during the Interzonal in Stockholm. I don't blame them, but I made a stupid mistake. The three of us had lunch together before the last round, in which I was to play Aaron from India. During the meal they were joking and said things like, 'Lajos, you'd better be careful. This guy is very dangerous. You may very well lose this game.' Psychologically this shocked me a bit and then I really lost the game. Benko is still unhappy when I mention this (laughs). Of course, it wasn't their fault. But people like to play with words and sometimes they don't realize how heavily these words affect you psychologically.> -- Portisch interview, NIC, 1990.
